LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN DIVERSIFIED FUND

February 11, 1998

Dear Shareholder:

Your Fund has changed its name. The JPM Pierpont Diversified Fund is now the
J.P. Morgan Diversified Fund. When J.P. Morgan began advising mutual funds over
15 years ago, regulatory restrictions prevented us from using our name in the
title of any mutual fund, which led to the JPM acronym. With the evolution of
today's financial marketplace, we are now able to proudly include the full J.P.
Morgan name in the title of your Fund.

We are pleased to report that the Fund earned a strong absolute return during a
period that was characterized by volatility both at home and abroad. For the six
months ended December 31, 1997, the Fund returned 6.11%. The Diversified
Benchmark*, against which we measure the Fund's performance, returned 7.23%. The
Diversified Benchmark is an index whose performance does not include fees,
transaction costs or operating expenses. The Lipper Balanced Fund Average, a
group of the Fund's peers, returned 7.90%.

Our underperformance was largely due to the Portfolio's asset allocation. For
nearly all of 1997, we were underweighted in U.S. large-cap stocks. This was in
keeping with our long-term strategy, which places a premium on value. We limit
our exposure to asset classes that, in our view, are overvalued, and we redeploy
the Portfolio's assets into undervalued strategies. The large-cap stocks, many
of which are displaying record high price/earnings ratios, do not offer the
risk/return relationship we seek for the Portfolio. With the 50 largest stocks
in the S&P 500 Index outperforming the other 450 stocks for the last several
years, we have reduced our overall exposure to these larger stocks.

During the third quarter of 1997, the markets began to confirm our view.
Large-cap stocks considerably lagged small-caps for the three-month period as
investors began to seek value outside of the largest stocks. However, trouble in
Southeast Asia during October caused investors to once again take refuge in the
perceived stability of large-cap stocks. The Nifty Fifty stocks reasserted their
dominance in the fourth quarter, and the Portfolio's limited exposure to this
group caused us to lag the Benchmark.

FUND PERFORMANCE


EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows
what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a
constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average
yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically one, five,
or 10 years. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized
and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]

Following is an interview with JOHN M. DEVLIN, JR., who has been a member of the
portfolio management team for the Diversified Portfolio since December of 1993.
John joined J.P. Morgan in 1986. At Morgan, he was on special assignment in the
Frankfurt office and, prior to that, spent six years on the Fixed Income trading
desk as a mortgage and corporate specialist. Before joining Morgan, John was a
pension fund manager and Treasury manager during his 12 years with U.S. Steel.
He earned a degree in Finance from Georgetown in 1967, and an MBA from Pace
University in 1976. He was an adjunct professor of Finance at Pace University
for 10 years.

WHAT MAKES THE DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO UNIQUE?

JMD:  We bring two main strengths to the table in the management of this
Portfolio. The first is Morgan's proprietary fundamental research, which enables
us to uncover attractively valued securities worldwide. The second is actively
managed, disciplined portfolio construction, which seeks superior long-term
returns by minimizing the Portfolio's exposure to securities that we view as
relatively overvalued. The consistency with which we have pursued our investment
approach over time has resulted in long-term returns that are right in line with
our competitors -- with less volatility of returns.

HOW HAS YOUR DISCIPLINED APPROACH WORKED DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?

JMD:  As our returns reflect, we lagged the benchmark for the period covered in
this report. This was due largely to our decision to allocate assets away from
U.S. large-cap stocks. While the portion of the Portfolio invested in these
securities performed extremely well, the Portfolio's underweighting in this
asset class held us back relative to our competition.

We made the decision to trim our exposure to large-caps because our valuation
research told us that this asset class was relatively overvalued. Among the
large-caps, the Nifty Fifty (the 50 largest stocks in the S&P 500) led the way.
Yet many of these stocks are displaying price-to-earnings ratios in excess of 40
times. We believe that is cause to underweight the entire asset group.

Most investors were undaunted by the valuations of the Nifty Fifty, however, and
these stocks outperformed the rest of the U.S. market for much of 1997. Large
caps were further boosted when the crisis in Southeast Asia caused a flight to
quality. Investors sought out the large names they know instead of smaller
stocks that they thought might not hold up well during uncertain times.

<PAGE>

HAVE THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF 1998 CAUSED YOU TO RETHINK YOUR STRATEGY?

JMD:  Not at all. Over my career, I've found that the successful managers stick
with their discipline -- even when it's out of favor for the time being. The
managers who frantically switch styles whenever one approach is lagging are the
ones who consistently occupy the bottom of the performance charts. Morgan's
approach -- using our research-driven information advantage to seek out
undervalued securities -- has served us very well over time. We're not about to
abandon it now.

HOW ARE YOU INVESTED IN THE SMALL-CAP PORTION OF THE PORTFOLIO?

JMD:  We are presently overweighted in small-cap stocks, which we believe are
undervalued relative to the large-caps. Small stocks have underperformed for
some time, and thus offer good value. They also are positioned to weather some
of the potential problems that we see for large-caps, such as a strong U.S.
dollar and possible earnings disappointments caused by the Asian slowdown.

HAS THE ASIAN CRISIS LED YOU TO AVOID NON-U.S. STOCKS?

JMD:  We're limiting our exposure to Japan and the rest of Asia for the time
being. However, we see good value in Europe at the moment. The European Monetary
Union is less than a year away, and looks to be a positive step for the region.
There has been a wave of corporate restructurings and large mergers, as well,
all of which are making the European countries more competitive. Because of
these positive factors, the Portfolio is slightly overweighted in foreign
stocks.

HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIO'S FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES PERFORMED?

JMD:  We have benefited from a U.S. bull market in bonds and from some very good
decisions about which bonds to own. U.S. long-term bond yields are at the lowest
levels since January of 1996, and the prices of these bonds have risen as a
result. This can create some problems for mortgage-backed securities, as people
tend to refinance their mortgages in a declining-yield environment. Fortunately,
we were overweighted in lower-coupon mortgage securities, which are less prone
to refinancing than higher-coupon bonds.

WHICH SECURITIES IN PARTICULAR CONTRIBUTED TO THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?

JMD:  Cisco Systems, Schering-Plough, Compaq Computer and Tele-Communications
added significantly to our performance for the six months.

WHICH SECURITIES HINDERED THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?

JMD: Underweighted positions in AT&T and General Electric, coupled with holdings
in NationsBank, Sears and WorldCom negatively impacted the performance of our
large-cap stocks.

J.P. MORGAN DIVERSIFIED FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The J.P. Morgan Diversified Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of the J.P.
Morgan Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust") which was organized
on November 4, 1992. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The
Fund commenced investment operations on December 15, 1993. Prior to January 1,
1998, the Trust's and the Fund's names were The JPM Pierpont Funds and The JPM
Pierpont Diversified Fund, respectively.
 
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Diversified Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment company having the
same investment objective as the Fund. The value of such investment included in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (26% at December 31, 1997). The
performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the
Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of
Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the Fund:
 
   a) Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the
      Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in
      this report.
 
   b) The Fund records its share of net investment income, realized and
      unrealized gain and loss and adjusts its investment in the Portfolio each
      day. All the net investment income and realized and unrealized gain and
      loss of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata among the Fund and other
      investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
 
   c) Substantially all the Fund's net investment income is declared and paid as
      dividends quarterly. Distributions to shareholders of realized net capital
      gains, if any, are declared and paid at least once a year.
 
   d) The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $34,724. These
      costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
      a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
 
   e) The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.
      The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue
      Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and
      to distribute substantially all of its income, including net realized
      capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no
      provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
 
   f ) Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more funds in
       the Trust are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund in
       the Trust, except where allocations of direct expenses to each fund can
       otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are
       charged to that fund.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
   a) The Trust on behalf of the Fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc.
      ("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and
      distributor for the Fund. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI
      and the Trust on behalf of the Fund, FDI provides administrative services
      necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnishes office space and
      facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and pays the
      compensation of the Fund's officers affiliated with FDI. The Fund has
      agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its allocable share of an annual
      complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's out-of-pocket expenses. The
      amount allocable to the Fund is based on the ratio of the Fund's net
      assets to the aggregate net assets of the Trust and certain other
      investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the six
      month period ended December 31, 1997, the fee for these services amounted
      to $1,185.
 
   b) The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has an Administrative Services Agreement
      (the "Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible
      for certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Fund. Under
      the Services Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to
      its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is
      calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      Portfolio and other portfolios in which the Trust and the J.P. Morgan
      Institutional Funds (formerly The JPM Institutional Funds) invest (the
      "Master Portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust (formerly JPM Series
      Trust) in accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the
      first $7 billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of
      their aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion less the
      complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by
      the Fund is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets bear
      to the net assets of the Trust, the Master Portfolios, other investors in
      the Master Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P.
      Morgan Series Trust. For the six month period ended December 31, 1997, the
      fee for these services amounted to $12,958.
 
      In addition, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent
      necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the Fund, including
      the expenses allocated to the Fund from the Portfolio, at no more than
      0.98% of the average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31,
      1998. For the six month period ended December 31, 1997, Morgan has agreed
      to reimburse the Fund $29,830 for expenses under this agreement.
 
   c) The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
      with Morgan to provide account administration and personal account
      maintenance service to Fund shareholders. The agreement provides for the
      Fund to pay Morgan a fee for these services which is computed daily and
      paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of
      the Fund. For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the fee for these
      services amounted to $106,913.
 
      Morgan, Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") and the Trust are parties to
      separate services and operating agreements (the "Schwab Agreements")
      whereby Schwab makes fund shares available to customers of investment
      advisors and other financial intermediaries who are Schwab's clients. The
      Fund is not responsible for payments to Schwab under the Schwab
      Agreements; however, in the event the Services
 
                                                                              15

      Agreement with Schwab is terminated for reasons other than a breach by
      Schwab and the relationship between the Trust and Morgan is terminated,
      the Fund would be responsible for the ongoing payments to Schwab with
      respect to pre-termination shares.
 
   d) The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Fund Services Agreement with
      Pierpont Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their
      overall supervisory responsibilities for the Trust's affairs. The Trustees
      of the Trust represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The Fund's
      allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to
      $1,478 for the six month period ended December 31, 1997.
 
   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of the Trust, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds, the Master
      Portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses
      shown in the financial statements represents the Fund's allocated portion
      of these total fees and expenses. The Trust's Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer also serves as Chairman of Group and receives compensation and
      employee benefits from Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The
      allocated portion of such compensation and benefits included in the Fund
      Services Fee shown in the financial statements was $300.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Diversified Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a no-load diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York on January 29, 1993. The Portfolio's investment objective
is to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and
fixed income securities. The Portfolio may invest in international markets. The
Portfolio commenced operations on July 8, 1993. The Declaration of Trust permits
the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the
Portfolio.
 
Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not
typically associated with investments in the United States. Future economic and
political developments in foreign countries could adversely affect the liquidity
or value, or both, of such securities in which the Portfolio is invested. The
ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a
specific industry or region.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the Portfolio:
 
   a) The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
      exist is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
      market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
      on the last sale price on a national securities exchange or, in the
      absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid
      and asked prices on such exchanges. Securities listed on a foreign
      exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the
      time when net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the
      average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
      Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
      available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures
      established by the Portfolio's Trustees. Such procedures include the use
      of independent pricing services, which use prices based upon yields or
      prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
      indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All
      portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are
      valued at amortized cost.
 
      Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
      markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
      may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
      events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
      the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
      when the Portfolio's net assets are calculated, such securities will be
      valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
      under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees.
 
      The Portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be
      under tri-party repurchase agreements, takes possession of the collateral
      pledged for investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the
      Portfolio. It is the policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying
      collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value,
      including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus
      accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase,
      the Portfolio has the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

      right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction
      of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or
      bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
      retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
      proceedings.
 
   b) The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
      market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
      foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
      at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expense are
      translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of
      such transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
      exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized
      upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the
      Statement of Operations.
 
      Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the exchange
      rates and market values prevailing at the end of the period, the Portfolio
      does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a
      result of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising
      from changes in the market prices of securities during the period.
 
   c) The Portfolio may enter into forward and spot foreign currency contracts
      to protect securities and related receivables and payables against
      fluctuations in future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an
      agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
      future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
      include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
      U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.
 
      The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
      exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily based on procedures established
      by and under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees, and the
      change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized
      appreciation or depreciation of forward foreign currency contract
      translations. At December 31, 1997, the Portfolio had open forward
      currency contracts as follows:

   d) Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
      quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
      make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
      price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
      Portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract,
      the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
      liquid securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of
      the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive
      from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
      fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are
      known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Portfolio as
      unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio
      records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value
      of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time when
      it was closed. The Portfolio invests in futures contracts for the purpose
      of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio
      intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in
      prevailing market interest rates or securities movements. The use of
      futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in
      movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the
      underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to
      meet the terms of their contracts. Futures transactions during the six
      months ended December 31, 1997 are summarized as follows:

   e) The Portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $5,000.
      These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
      over a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
 
   f) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
      income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
      relevant ex-dividend date and amount become known. Interest income, which
      includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any, is recorded
      on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized
      gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
      identification.
 
   g) The Portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
      tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its
      share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended
      that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor
      in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M
      of the Internal Revenue Code. The Portfolio earns foreign income which may
      be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
   a) The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan. Under the
      terms of the agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of
      0.55% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months
      ended December 31, 1997, this fee amounted to $956,224.
 
   b) The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
      broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
      agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the Portfolio,
      FDI provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the
      Portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting
      the business of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the officers
      affiliated with FDI. The Portfolio has agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its
 
                                                                              47

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's
      out-of-pocket expenses. The amount allocable to the Portfolio is based on
      the ratio of the Portfolio's net assets to the aggregate net assets of the
      Portfolio and certain other investment companies subject to similar
      agreements with FDI. For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the fee
      for these services amounted to $3,857.
 
   c) The Portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for overseeing
      certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Portfolio.
      Under the Services Agreement, the Portfolio has agreed to pay Morgan a fee
      equal to its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge
      is calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      Portfolio and certain other portfolios for which Morgan acts as investment
      advisor (the "Master Portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust in
      accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the first $7
      billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of their
      aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion less the
      complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by
      the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets
      bear to the net assets of the Master Portfolios, other investors in the
      Master Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P.
      Morgan Series Trust. For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the fee
      for these services amounted to $52,688.
 
      In addition, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent
      necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the Portfolio at no
      more than 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio through
      October 31, 1998. For the six months ended December 31, 1997, Morgan has
      agreed to reimburse the Portfolio $129,972 for expenses under this
      agreement.
 
   d) The Portfolio has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
      ("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
      responsibilities for the Portfolio's affairs. The Trustees of the
      Portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
      Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $6,143 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.
 
   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds,
      the Master Portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and
      Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the Portfolio's
      allocated portion of the total fees and expenses. The Portfolio's Chairman
      and Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairman of Group and receives
      compensation and employee benefits from Group in his role as Group's
      Chairman. The allocated portion of such compensation and benefits included
      in the Fund Services Fee shown in the financial statements was $1,200.
